Phil The Greek In Hospital

[dissolute ocelot]

King Edward VII's Hospital isn't ours, it's private.

You can't expect him to go to a hospital named after his wife or that horrible Diana woman. The man has pride. Anyway, Edward VII was a medical pioneer: two days before his scheduled coronation date distinguished surgeon Frederick Treves "performed a then-radical operation of draining a pint of pus from the infected abscess through a small incision (through ​4 1⁄2-inch thickness of belly fat and abdomen wall)". Say what you like about Phil, he doesn't have 4 1/2 inches of belly fat.

Is that the same Frederick Treves as the one who discovered Joe Merrick?

Not sure he discovered EM as much as met him.

I can and do expect him to get on the train to Llanelli.

Can we stop bumping this thread until he's actually dead? Every time it's near the top of the page again I get excited.

[Butchers Blind]

keen on reaching 100.

Bastardo.

JUST GET THE DEATH OF THE QUEEN'S CONSORT DONE!

[Thursday]

They'll announce it late tomorrow so it doesn't interrupt the working week.

[steve98]

It'll all be over by Christmas (and, I fancy, there's a few round here might just feel a wee bit shitty on that day for the unpleasant things they've said about him)

[Phoenix Lazarus]

If they announce it on Saturday it'll be a nice birthday present for me.

Oh yes, I shall be flagellating myself red raw.

[Paul Calf]

I'll be smashing the crockery in fits of grief.

[pigamus]

You'll regret wishing him dead after weeks of wall-to-wall sodding media sycophancy

Like sawing off a gangrenous limb just get it done

[Butchers Blind]

What we need is 24 hour cam footage of this cunt slowly ebbing away.

[idunnosomename]

His racist gaffes were always delivered with a twinkle in his eye

[SpiderChrist]

I'm always deeply upset when a racist cunt that I hate dies. The media coverage will be horrendous but that's easily avoided.

Aye, thank god for multi channel tv and the internet. Back in the day, there'd be no escape.

[Phoenix Lazarus]

His racist gaffes were always delivered with a chinkie, p**i or wog in his ire

[chveik]

phil not dying is 'deeply offensive to the taxpayers of this country'

I won't.

[Old Thrashbarg]

Have you ever posted anything even slightly amusing?

[shiftwork2]

Can people stop bumping the thread?  It's the hope that gets me.

[shiftwork2]

Seriously, pack it in.

[idunnosomename]

ok sorry

[chveik]

my bad!!

[Phoenix Lazarus]

Seriously, pack it in.

I remember someone once said that at my school and was told "Pakis don't come in tins, they come in hundreds and thousands" by the visiting Duke of Edinburgh.  The other person had said "pack it in" to Prince Philip in the first place but that's another story.
